And, somebody, PLEASE license LEMMINGS.

That would be awesome.

Is track and field included? I remember breaking many joysticks, and destroying the palm of my right hand playing that one.

Overpriced. These games are ancient and most of them don't offer much gameplay at all. Plus it cost atari essentially nothing to put this app out. If they made it $0.99 for the hundred pack then it'd be no-brainer, we'd buy it just for the nostalgia alone. I could conceivably see paying up to $4.99 for the hundred pack for the very small handful of games that are actually worth playing. But $14.99 for these junky games? No way.

p.s., I'm not saying all old games are bad, quite the contrary, there are a lot of fantastic old games that still hold up well, but the atari era of games were especially crappy.

So buy the packs you want for 99 cents each. I bought 3 or 4 packs total, and that's all the games that I really played/remember, so I'm quite happy with that. I'm not planning on spending the full $15.

COOL!

Looks like one of those Nettop boards inside a C64 chassis and an emulator...



How about an Atari 400?

Unlike most of you spoiled punks who never owned an Atari or played in a real arcade, I did and this game ROCKS! $15 for chunk o' games is nothing unless you're still living off yer mama's teet. Get a job, even a remedial one like the Apple store and quit yer whining. You just suck in Asteroids, that's all.

...Now, where's Gauntlet, and I can stop nagging!

iPad needs Gauntlet badly.

Anybody? No?

And, somebody, PLEASE license LEMMINGS.

So I bit the bullet and bought the complete game pack on my iPad 1. For some reason all of the games are playing in iPhone scale on my iPad. Taking up like 1/9 of the screen. Cometely unplayable. Has anyone experienced this and / or have a fix? Very frustrating......

When I get home, I am buying Tempest.

Tempest is my Favorite "old school" game - I have a nice MAME setup, I did purchase the Tempest pack, and it is awesome!

There are 2 versions: the console version and the arcade machine version.
The console one is terrible.

I can tell you that the Arcade version is spot on! Did not try the 2600 version. Hopefully Intellivision releases something similar, so I can play B-17 Bomber and Advanced D&D

I got this and Missile Command. It's pretty terrible on the iPod touch. Way too small to be playable without bringing on a migraine.
